  • Ukraine Ukraine at a Glance: 2002-03
    COUNTRY REPORT Ukraine Ukraine at a glance: 2002-03 OVERVIEW Efforts by both pro- and anti-presidential forces to gain the upper hand in the parliamentary election due by March 2002 will increasingly dominate the political scene. The president, Leonid Kuchma, and his parliamentary allies are likely to succeed in using their superior administrative and media resources to limit the gains of their opponents. The government will remain in power until the 2002 election and is unlikely to roll back its predecessor’s reform achievements, although electoral politics will preclude further significant reforms. The economy will grow at a more moderate pace in 2002-03, following buoyant growth in 2001. Year-end inflation will rise slightly to 12% in 2002, owing to further price liberalisation and election- related policy loosening, before falling again in 2003. Sustained export growth will ensure current-account surpluses in 2002-03, although these will narrow because of strengthening import demand and continued real currency appreciation. Key changes from last month Political outlook • The former prime minister Viktor Yushchenko looks increasingly likely to try to build an alliance for the 2002 election that is more centre- than reform-based. Economic policy outlook • Multilateral financing has resumed as expected, and should now permit completion of Ukraine’s Paris Club debts. The narrowing of the budget surplus in August underlines the Economist Intelligence Unit’s forecast that the government is likely to end the year with a slight budget deficit. Economic forecast • Preliminary trade data for the start of the third quarter has prompted a slight revision in our trade surplus forecast for this year.

Traditionally, transitivity phenomena are treated as a combination of different types of entities, formed as a result of the transformation processes or the reflection of the intermediate, syncretic facts that characterize the language system in the synchronous aspect.

  • The Impact of Changes in Electoral Systems: a Comparative Analysis of the Local Election in Ukraine in 2006 and 2010
    STUDIA VOL. 36 POLITOLOGICZNE STUDIA I ANALIZY Olena Yatsunska The impact of changes in electoral systems: a comparative analysis of the local election in Ukraine in 2006 and 2010 KEY WORDS: local government, local elections, proportional electoral system, majoritarian electoral system, mixed majoritarian-proportional electoral system, Ukraine STUDIA I ANALIZY Having gained independence in 1991 Ukraine, like most Central and East- ern European countries, faced the need for radical Constitutional reforms, with reorganization of local government figuring high in the agenda. Like other post-soviet countries, Ukraine had to decide on the starting point and like in the neighboring countries, democratic euphoria of the early 1990s got the upper hand: local authorities were elected on March 18, 1990, while the Law On Local People’s Deputies of Ukrainian SSR and Local Self-government was adopted by Verkhovna Rada of Ukrainian SSR on December 7, 1990. Ukrain- ian Researchers in the field of local government and its reforms concur with the opinion that the present dissatisfactory state of that institution was con- ditioned by the first steps made by Ukrainian Politicians at the beginning of the ‘transition’ period. Without clear perspective of reform, during more than 20 years of Independence, Ukrainian local government has abided dozens of laws, sometimes rather contradictory and has survived more than 10 stages of restructuring. Evolution of election legislation in Ukraine is demonstrated by Table 1. The table shows that since 1994 three electoral systems have been tested in Ukraine: 1, Majoritarian, 2, Proportional except elections to village and settlement councils and 3, ‘Mixed’ system (50% Majoritarian+50% Proportional).

  • Letter of 5 July 2017 from the Minister of Security and Justice and The
    DUI 1 Letter of 5 July 2017 from the Minister of Security and Justice and the Minister of Foreign Affairs to the House of Representatives of the States General concerning the decision on the MH17 prosecution mechanism I am writing on behalf of the Minister of Foreign Affairs and in my own capacity as Minister of Security and Justice to inform the House of the decision that has been taken in relation to the mechanism for the prosecution and trial of those suspected of the downing of Malaysia Airways flight MH17. After consultations, Australia, Belgium, Malaysia, Ukraine and the Netherlands – the countries whose law enforcement authorities are collaborating in the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) – have opted for a national prosecution and trial conducted in and by the Netherlands. The process will be rooted in close and ongoing international cooperation and support. The Dutch Public Prosecution Service will make the relevant decisions regarding prosecution (e.g. on matters like the summoning of suspects) at the appropriate time. The countries concerned are convinced that such a mechanism is in keeping with UN Security Council resolution 2166, which demands that those responsible for this incident be held to account, thereby doing justice to the interests of the 298 victims and their next of kin. Preparations for the prosecution mechanism After the Russian Federation’s veto in the UN Security Council on 29 July 2015, the Netherlands entered into further consultations with the JIT countries. Those countries’ heads of government decided to flesh out the legal and other implications of two possible prosecution and trial mechanisms: first, a national prosecution and trial in one of the countries involved in the criminal investigation, and second, an international prosecution and trial conducted by a tribunal established by multilateral treaty.
